Cement silo cost
If you think the price of the cement silo is only related to its capacity size, then you are completely wrong. The price of the cement silo is influenced by many factors, not only the capacity size, but also the thickness of the steel plate, as well as the transportation and installation costs, the discharge system, and so on. Here are the five major factors that AGICO has summarized that affect the price of the cement silo.
Firstly, the main structure of the silo, including the thickness of the steel plates and the type of steel silo. AGICO has three types of steel silos: spiral steel silo, welded steel silo, and bolted steel silo. The cost of this part accounts for 35% to 45%.
Secondly, the discharge system, including equipment such as screw conveyors and discharge valves. AGICO can provide you with φ219/273mm spiral conveyors with motor power ranging from 5.5 to 11kW. Customization can also be done according to your needs. This part’s cost accounts for 15% to 20%.
Thirdly, the dust removal system and ventilation devices. AGICO’s steel silos offer top bag dust collectors and anti-block air duct systems. The cost of these devices accounts for 10% to 15%.
Fourthly, the monitoring and safety system. The silo system requires high and low level sensors, safety valves, and pressure detection systems. The cost range is 5% to 10%.
Fifthly, the transportation and installation costs. This price depends on the transportation distance and the assembly method of the silo segments. The cost accounts for 10% to 20%.
The price of AGICO custom-made cement silos is usually 30% – 40% lower than that of European brands, yet their lifespan and performance can match or even surpass those of international brands.
